I thought this was 4 different people. I was trying to figure out what was wrong with the ones on the left!! Holy shit, that’s horrible.

    Nah left is original, right post-surgery. Two ladies. Megan Fox and... I forget the other one at the bottom.

    I think Megan looks fine BTW.. Just did this think called aging, not necessarily botched surgery.

    Have you seen her in the new Ro commercials? I thought the commercial featured a Kardashian the first time I saw it. Doesn’t appear to just be aging.

    Also, I’m pretty sure the woman on the bottom is Laura Loomer.

    I don't really run into ads so no.

    All I'm saying is I've seen many beautiful ladies age with a very similar change in facial structure from Megan's before and after photos at top in 20 years (and yeah, it's semi-shockingly been ~20 years between those photos).

    P. S. Yeah you're right Laura Loomer. That's definitely surgery on her, much larger change and shorter time-scale.

    PSA: if you want to age well:

    • wear sunscreen

    • eat fruits and veg, avoid sugar as much as you can

    • do some form of cardio(walking is perfectly fine, you just want to get your heart going)

    • Do some form of resistance training.(calisthenics, lift a litre bottle)

    • Sleep around 7 to 8 hrs

    You'll not only be the hottest 60 or 70 year old, you're quality of life won't degrade much.

    Sugar is unkind to you in so many ways. Ignoring it's negative impact eventually catches up with most people, some worse than others.

    I thought all the fuss about it and carbs was silly and over-stated myself, but my thoughts and feeling didn't change the consequences. I've learned better now but wish I could go back in time and tell myself what was coming so I could change my behavior sooner.

    This false narrative that you're helpless to try when depressed needs to end, its needlessly self limiting. The only reason my life is good now is because I took steps I had to that i didnt want to. People can encourage others and we can recognise how difficult it is at the same time, they are not mutually exclusive.

    I got out of severe depression by trying and keeping at it to do these things I didn't even believe could help me anymore. Surprise, they did. Yes it took long and was hard. But it is possible to do even a little bit.

    The part telling me I can't do it and saying I shouldn't even try cus I won't do it anyways, that is part of the depression too. It is self sustaining.

    In my mind the trick that worked was: if everything is shit no matter what, if I hate every second anyways no matter what I do, if nothing will change how miserable I am, then taking a short walk won't change anything for the worse either, not to any significant degree anyways.

    That way bit by bit my absolute apathy tricked itself into doing things because it didn't matter either way. And slowly shit got tiny bits better.

    The advice works, but only if you have the strength to do it and not everyone does.

    Realize that some of these aren't just decisions you have to get right every day (like walking every day), they're decisions you have to get right 86400 times a day. If you crave junk food, you don't just decide "I'll stop eating it", you have to make that decision every second of every day, because if you slip once, you're fucked. It gets easier, sure, but the first days/weeks are brutal.

    My depression, gives me insomnia. My insomnia gives me anxiety and worsens my depression. Be your own best friend and go easy on yourself. You wouldn't let others talk to your friends like you talk to yourself. On good days, make sure you do all those things. On days you don't feel like, push to do as many as you can and know it's ok if you don't. On bad days, acknowledge your wins of getting out of bed and brushing your teeth if that's all you could accomplish. You don't have to be perfect. You just have to keep going and get back to it.

    Been there. And, my physical health precludes it sometimes too.

    Nothing I can say will help, but you ain't alone, you aren't the only one, and if you ever do have a day when you can do that kind of self care, don't beat yourself up if/when you have the next one where you can't.

    We all gotta get by as best we can, and nobody gets out alive.

    I feel you there. I've had periods of time where motivation in general was easier and thus I could more easily feel up to taking a walk, and that almost always made me feel better. It truly sucks when you don't feel able to find the motivation. And I'm not trying to make it sound easy, but if you force yourself on occasion to do small exercises like walking, you're more likely to find your way back to the place when you're automatically motivated.

    Not medical advice, but a suggestion of easy things to ask your doctor to check for if you have insomnia, and inexpensive to address if they are the culprit: taking taking B12 and D supplements gave me (back?) my ability to sleep. I've never slept better in my life.

    First, these ladies aren’t doing anti aging surgeries, they are doing “have a different face” surgeries.

    Second, the only way to win at the “wOmeN sHouLd jUSt aGe GrAceFullY” bullshit is to know that there is no winning.

    You will be accused of “letting yourself go” or “getting too much work done.” Period. There are like 12 women in the world at any given time who will age in a way that is aesthetically pleasing to the majority, and you probably won’t be one of them.

    So pick which you are more comfortable with and do what ever the fuck you want.

    A surgeon? Or a severe bee allergy?

    My half-baked theory is that many right-wingers don't have any sense of aesthetics at all. Instead, they perceive signifiers. Which is why so many of them like ugly tacky garbage, as long as it looks shiny and new and expensive.

    Plastic surgery can be a signifier -- if it's obvious plastic surgery. That's where "Mar-a-Lago Face" comes from.

    I don't get this obsession with having no facial lines on your face.

    Dimples used to be seen as cute.

    I've had lines on my forehead since I was a kid and it helps people read my expression. It's not a flaw.

    Now it's fill and paralyze the face .

    How is this so popular?

    The Laura Loomer one especially frustrates me. She was infinitely more attractive before she had all that work done :/

    Nothing special either way about her appearance before, but Megan Fox was legitimately one of the most beautiful women alive. Though I don't think she did it for Trump's approval at least (she started pretty early with the first boob job), I suspect it was her own insecurity and I'm not going to be judgemental of that, we've all got our issues.

    "Frustrates" is a curious word choice...

    For a male example that "Clavicular" guy was very attractive before his surgeries too. I think there's something beautiful in people accepting and loving who they are already so all this elective surgery stuff gives me the ick.

    I don't think that's really fair to megan fox if I'm honest.

    I mean there's a conversation to be had about what she looked like in her early 20s and how much better she would have looked if she had have aged gracefully since then, but I think it would be tough to find a photo of her looking like this.
